fund capitalized on gold's historic rally while rode semiconductor strength. This momentum arrives alongside VanEck's cautious 2026 projections and unique market indicators. Asset allocators face strategic decisions navigating these divergent paths.
How Did VanEck's ETFs Perform in 2025?
GDX jumped 155% as gold
